5 weeks

My baby boy is 5 weeks old today! He's getting so big. I don't know what he weighs but he's growing like a weed! His little cheeks are getting chubby and he's outgrowing some of his clothes. And outfits that I thought it would take him forever to fit into are fitting him!!!


Last week a friend told me about Gripe Water and suggested that I try it to help with his tummy. It's made a big difference!!! Hallelujah! He's less fussy and is spitting up less. Gripe Water is all natural and is available in the natural foods section of our grocery store. I'm convinced that it's helped Taylor and I wish I'd known about it with Lily!

And just an update on the potty training: Lily is doing so well! She's wearing her big girl underwear exclusively and is doing a great job using the potty. We have some work to do with #2 but I won't go into details. :) She stays dry during her naps and at bedtime and has had very few accidents otherwise. I'm so proud of her. And so excited to only be buying diapers for one child!


Here are a few photo highlights of the last week. Enjoy!

Look how big she is compared to him!!!

More bonding. This was so cute. He's looking right at her.

Our dear friends Dave and April were in town over the weekend for a wedding so we were able to spend some time with them. Here's Lily with their daughter Emma (on the right) and her friend Brianna.
